Montessori Pedagogy Our work is guided by the principles
and pedagogy of Dr. Maria Montessori and further enriched by the
work of others in the fields of education and human development.
The Montessori prepared environment nurtures the intellectual,
emotional, social, physical, and spiritual potential of the whole
child.
Love of Work Children learn through purposeful activity carried
out in developmentally appropriate urban and rural environments
where the choice of meaningful work is expected and respected.
Peaceful Community We work to create a peaceful, supportive,
compassionate, and welcoming community where the understanding of
and respect for differences lead to appreciation, self-reflection,
and personal growth.
Stewardship We strive to be model citizens of a global
community and to help children prepare themselves for life. As
stewards of the earth, we share the belief expressed by Dr. Maria
Montessori that within each child lies the fate of the
future.
